Thank you for Sharing the Love: John Willis

In this episode, Dan speaks with John Willis, who leads the Inclusive Health team at St Vincent's Health Australia. With great energy and insight, John shares about the challenges and questions arising for the vulnerable people who he and his team serve through their work. His story highlights the beauty of honouring and valuing each and every person, and gives a window into what someone who is known for his energy and drive draws on to continue. John's final message to staff: "thanks for sharing the love". *John is also hosting a sister podcast, Stories from the Frontline of Health and Homelessness, related to Parity Magazine which he mentions in his episode. There's a link to it in the full show notes below.
In this Podcast we’re talking to people who love St Vincent’s, love our staff, and love the service we provide in health and aged care. Some of our guests will be staff, some will be leaders, some will be members of the community – and we’ll even have a few Sisters of Charity join us – that great group of vowed religious women who started St Vincent’s nearly 160 years ago.
 
 
Our health and aged care ministries, and those who serve within them, are facing an extraordinary moment in human history – the COVID-19 pandemic. This series has a simple purpose in this context: to console you, our staff, who serve in our organisation, through taking some time to pause and reflect, to bolster your courage, and together to cultivate the compassion we need for each other and those we serve at this time.
 
 
And, whilst prepared for St Vincent’s, we’re sharing this series with anyone who might find it helpful. If you’re joining us from outside of our services, consider yourself part of the family – you are very welcome indeed.
 
Our guest for this episode is John Willis, who leads the Inclusive Health team for St Vincent's.
